Police state? You really think the U.S. is one? Well, maybe Arizona if it were a standalone country...but the rest? Please. Go look at China and North Korea, or the old Soviet Union and you tell me how we even remotely compare to those nations.
If you think the U.S. is police state now, I cannot imagine the stress of living inside your head.
A is X, therefore B is not X? Does not compute.
That said, I grew up in a real police state (China), and the US is just as bad or worse in various matters (economic rights, right to use drugs), and somewhat better on others (free speech, guns). On the other hand, people in the US are far more deluded about the true state of affairs. Land of the free, lol.
With 'X' being a country that restricts/represses political/religious/personal expression, or restricting ones' movement between states, etc. then I think the computation isn't all that difficult.
If "deluded" is by "willfully ignorant" then I'd agree.
You know he couldn't of signed that bill without cooperation from Republicans in congress.
I lost faith in police officers when I realized that revenue generation was of higher priority to them than public safety. I had a MR2 Turbo, red, fast, had URV8SX for a license plate and it would get pulled over about once every 2 months for various traffic infractions, sometimes for nothing at all. I concluded based on all the tickets I was receiving that I was a bad driver and I really need to improve my driving. Well then I switched to a stock miata and magically, all of a sudden, Im not getting any tickets.
The fact that a simple change of cars and going from $1500 in legal fees a year to $0 in legal fees per years means Im all of a sudden getting no tickets has infuriated my towards police and their decision making. It was clear that I was being profiled based on car choice, rather than me as a driver.
I dunno if I will ever have a high opinion of police, because I had to put up with a lot of crap just because I enjoyed driving a modified import, I dunno if I hate cops, but I definitely have a low opinion of them. I also got bored and mad of the constant harassment, being nice to the police officer and then getting hammered with $240 in legal fees and then decided to make pull-overs as unpleasant as possible for the officer. For example if they asked to search the car, instead of consenting I would simply tell them "No...Don't worry, Ill wait while you get a warrant" just to challenge them to see how far they wanted to go to get inside my car. I figured they got paid better than me, so if I could waste more tax dollars on mundane tasks, I was happy.
